I would agree with replacing SDC General and SDC-Statements with StructuredDataOnCommons. I don't agree with replacing StructuredDataOnCommons with WikibaseMediaInfo.

I noticed this recently too. It seems like the options are reversed, hide registered users hides unregistered users, hide unregistered users hides registered users.
That change doesn't seem to have fixed it, the URLs are still broken.

This also happens with the zero-width joiner (ZWJ, U+200D), which you can see in the label for Sri Lanka (map):

Another example of ZWNJ being stripped is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q336 where the ms-arab label is "ساءينس" (sains) but this query returns "ساءينس" (sainas, according to the last paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_non-joiner#Use_of_ZWNJ_for_correct_typography).

The categorisation on ak.wikipedia.org is also broken (e.g. https://ak.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Gaana and https://ak.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators). Most links to pages not in the main namespace are broken as well, e,g, categories and templates on https://ak.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:User_io-1, talk pages, user pages and user talk pages on https://ak.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xibitgh. That includes links from other places too, e.g. the "This property is being used by" section on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P2002 and sitelinks on items.

It only happens for me when the text size is set to small.

Unicode's data includes the numeric value for decimal digits (see chapter 4 of the standard and annex 44). As far as I can tell, that data covers all digits in MediaWiki's $digitTransformTable variables, except for Classical Chinese (MessagesLzh.php), and also covers over 40 other scripts not supported by MediaWiki.
Columns: Codepoint, numeric value, name

These still need to be added to LocalNamesEn.php in the CLDR extension, to the language-data repository, and (for consistency) to WikibaseContentLanguages.php in the Wikibase extension.

I've lowercased the script codes because Wikimedia's convention is to use lowercase for script and country codes - BCP 47/IANA/IETF language tags are case-insensitive, so it's still valid.

Now that it uses language codes from the CLDR extension, this will presumably also happen if any codes containing -x- are added there.

You probably mean the change in T377663: Support autocompletion in CodeEditor. CodeMirror 6 isn’t available anywhere other than mediawiki.org yet and I don't think autocompletion is there at all.

You can work around it in queries by manually adjusting the coordinates to use 0 to 360°. I created an example query years ago (it was actually the very first example query I added!) but it's since been deemed too advanced and moved to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples/advanced#Locations_in_Fiji where people are less likely to find it. Here's the same strategy applied to that New Zealand query: https://w.wiki/C6bB

I hate that "feature" in Wikifunctions. Overwriting people's clipboard content without warning is rude. I want to be able to select text without losing what I have in the clipboard, and that includes IDs, because I can do things like drag them into another field or middle-click paste in Linux.

The description of this ticket seems inaccurate. Languages have never been added to Names.php for Wikibase, as far as I know. Languages are added to $wmgExtraLanguageNames for Wikidata and Commons because it's not acceptable to add them to Names.php (for some unknown reason). It would be much simpler for Wikidata if things could be added to Names.php instead of needing a custom configuration, see T273627 (including the comments).

[mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseLexeme@master] Add lexeme language code txo-toto for Toto language
This was not done correctly. Lexeme language codes need to be added to LocalNamesEn.php in the CLDR extension, so that MediaWiki has a language name for them (the ones in the WikibaseLexeme extension are not used anywhere except Special:NewLexeme). That will automatically make them available for lexemes.
